Do You Play Video Games That Aren't "Fun"? - Reboot Episode 6.5

No

If I don,t find anything fun why would I waste my time with it ?

The gameplay could be fun, the story can be fun etc

And some game even with all that are just boring, they may lack a soul.

Not so long ago I had a blast playing Horizon Zero Dawn and also Danganronpa and Zero Escape or Mortal Kombat XL. All those games were fun to me for different reasons.

I don't like corridor simulators, so TLOU was pretty much a chore to finish.

Games that aren't that fun but have something special to show, like Spec Ops the Line and Last of Us, are always on my radar. Buuuut if you put some kind of gameplay I hate, like turn-based or floaty combat, I steer clear. Too bad, final fantasy vii really have a great story, but didn't went farther than Barret's flashback.

Do videogames need to be "fun" in the most pure and lighthearted sense? Not necessarily. If not those, they should at least be "fun" in the entertaining, immersing, enthralling, challenging, and/or engaging sense(s). Do we really need a long discussion about that? It's not exactly complicated.

Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know. I get cranky when I'm hungry.

There was nothing wrong with the title you guys. Just some extremely touchy little boys that get very angry and political when you disagree with them about their toys. This subject has been going on for a long time, and I think attempts to over-explain it to the "games are toys" type gamers is just holding back the progress of the discussion. At some point you just have to ignore them and go deeper into the topic.

Of course games can be more. just like Persona was baby! PERSONAAAA!

Most of today's video games are not fun , I rather play old retro games on NES, Sega Genesis , Gamecube, Original Xbox, even Atari 2600 they are way more fun then today's games !
